EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite handwriting and signature of the renowned artist, Peter Paul Rubens. Taken from a letter written in Italian, this particular piece focuses on the defeat of the English navy at the Siege of La Rochelle. The letter was composed by Rubens himself in Antwerp on 30 December 1627. The pen and ink on paper capture every stroke with remarkable precision, allowing us to marvel at Rubens' artistic talent even beyond his celebrated paintings. His distinctive script flows gracefully across the page, revealing not only his mastery as a painter but also as a skilled calligrapher. Rubens' signature adds an intimate touch to this historical artifact, providing a personal connection between viewer and artist. It serves as a testament to his significance within art history and reminds us of his enduring legacy. This print is based on a facsimile manuscript found in the British Library's collection (Add. Ms. 18741, f. 101). Its inclusion in private collections further highlights its value as both an artistic treasure and an important historical document. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness Rubens' creative process firsthand. It offers us insight into his thoughts and emotions during one of Europe's most significant naval battles—a rare glimpse into the mind behind some of art history's greatest masterpieces.
